Nineteen out of Fulvestrant cell line 20 isolates were from whole blood and the remaining isolate was from pleural fluid (Table 3). ATCC64548 and ATCC64550 C. albicans reference strains were also included in this study. All isolates were identified by physiological and morphological tests, including microscopic examination and biochemical tests. The identification was confirmed by sequence analysis of the ITS (internal transcribed

spacer) region of the rDNA [26].

Yeast cells were grown for 24 hours in Sabouraud broth medium at 30°C. Genomic DNA was extracted using a phenol:chloroform method [27] followed by purification using Chroma SPIN + TE 400 columns according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Clontech Laboratories, Becton Dickinson, Madrid, Spain). Genotyping analysis of C. albicans was performed using MLP procedure with three different markers previously described, CDC 3 [28]; EF 3 [29] and HIS 3 [30].
